A lot of the Nintendo inhouse games have been excellent and still more coming out which is great. Wiiu for us has been worth every penny. A lot of pet hate for the WiiU on every deal. End of the day - If you aren't into Nintendo games why are you bothered? Plenty of other games to play on your console of choice

You fell for a hoax I'm afraid. And the Wii U is by far my preferred console this generation - so many good games including the one posted.

just paid 30 the other day haha...typical :smirk:

I agree completely with you. Such a shame as Nintendo make great games. I'll just stick with my Wii U backlog. Don't think I'd buy Nintendo again.

very disappointed,they haven't learn a thing.
It's Wii U all over again with more Wii flavour added to it.
for the first time,I'm confident to say I have zero interest in a Nintendo condole and won't be buying it.

How optimistic about the Switch are you now?

Went for it today, glad I did. Only one copy left at Oldbury now.

I had this on the Wii when it was released, but never finished it due to disliking the controls, regretted not getting the GameCube version, but now I can use the gamepad.

Sorry, meant gamecube :smile:

Why on earth would a Nintendo console support dreamcast games?!?

they had a few instore in wigan yesterday my eldest daughter bought one just a few hours after me

Picked up the last one in Bradford.

great just bought

Exactly. Since the Wii, and before really, a classic combination has been Nintendo + PC.

A decent PC setup will have far more power and better graphics than Playstation or Xbox, which obviously age.
And a keyboard and mouse is far better for strategy games and FPSs.

And now VR is an option - which is even better for FPSs if you're into that - which the Wii/Wii U do to an extent with the wii mote.

So PC gamers can equally look down on those with a Playstation or XBox (and many do). They're in many ways relatively underpowered and inferior systems.

People complaining about Ninty console power don't get it. Ninty intentionally make lower powered consoles so they're more affordable - can be bought by parents for their kids etc, and because the type of games they make don't require heavy processing power - they don't make simulation games.

An affordable family/multi player friendly console on one hand, and a PC for "hardcore" and indy gaming on the other is a great combination.

Buying an FPS through steam etc for PC results in a cheaper game, that you can control better, with more power and better graphics.

And for multiplayer and fun you can't beat Ninty. I'll be getting the Wii U out this Christmas for some Nintendo land, Wario ware and other shenanigans. The whole family (including several total non gamers) can play and enjoy that. The pictionary game alone is great fun.

Will be adding Guitar Hero to that this year thanks to the Toys R Us deal.

And will add this crazily good deal to the collection, thanks OP.
You get a soundtrack CD, nice looking Amiibo, and the game for £25.

I hope they do a Skyward sword remaster.

Looking forward to loads more Zelda stuff as part of the 30th anniversary.

Just picked one up from Bradford, didn't need to reserve they had plenty behind the counter

What do the Amiibo things do?

They quite clearly said it was their preferred console so the 'who' is self evident. I also know a section of the gaming community where it is preferred, a good chunk of PC gamers (including me) would rank it as their favourite console this generation since it gives a more varied experience from the other consoles when compared to the PC. Despite its lack of games it still has more enticing exclusives than the PS4 or the Xbox One.

The WiiU was released over 4 years ago - it's been fine and a lot of people are happy with it - especially the Nintendo game fans. For my kids (and me) it's been excellent and still is and gets a lot of play time. The tablet controller has been the best part - the kids have played their games effectively on a large and light handheld regularly away from the TV or just watched Netflix on it. It's all horses for courses.
There's little doubt new Nintendo games will come out for their new console, no denying that at all - but when the dust has settled ill personally remember the WiiU and the armful of great games I enjoyed on it.

Related to this deal - its a great price, hot and enjoy :smiley:

Had this and Dragon Quest 7 bought for me as Xmas gifts :smile: Merry Xmas to me. Gotta love Smyths lately.

Thanks reserved at leeds kirkstall.

again I said it's a rumor,I don't care either way, because luckily I got rid of my Wii U for a good price and that money will be used towards buying a Switch.so i will play the superior version of the new Zelda anyway.+ their new games.it's just 3 months left.and Switch is apparently going to be £200 that's cheaper than what they ask for the Wii U.

I'm overal optimistic about the switch because it seems Nintendo themselves want to distance as much s possible from the horrible Wii U and even Wii.
so chances are this new console actually has some potential and some decent horsepower unlike the Wii U which was 10 years late when launched and they tried to rely on a gimmick (bulky, awkward low resolution tablet controller that eventually killed the console).

I know it has a handful of great games, but they all could have been better on a good capable, gimmick free system.none of those few great games is good because of Wii U hardware specifically if you know what I mean.if Wii U was a great console, it wouldn't sell so poorly and Nintendo wouldn't ditch and bury it at this point.simple.

We love our WII U, glad you believe everything on a forum and Utube is true and correct! I have seen people trying very hard to even get used consoles if they cant get new in the shops. Not everyone is the same so each to their own but we are still buying WII U games.

I'll be heading to Smyths next monday or tuesday to collect this.:sunglasses:

as I said it's a rumor circulating the web on the past few days, it's not confirmed..

Japanese website Koji is reporting that Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been cancelled for the Wii U due to "Technical Issues"

preferred by who? lol.. I mean it's failed because obviously it was not preferred by gamers.
ps : I wound one for 6 months only.

Nintendo are just a frustrating company for me, they have produced nothing but second rate hardware since the N64 and are still doing it now with the switch, it's got last gen hardware,.

Wish they would throw in the very best hardware available and make one great console, instead of the cheapest they can get away with, they just rely on gimmicks.

Surely people would pay the extra cost for the better hardware?

The Switch should have the very latest graphic hardware, not last gen! should also be backwards compatible with Wii-U at the very least! they gave up on it far too quickly! as per normal! and would have been amazing if it also supported N64 carts, Dreamcast games. Imagine the buzz that would have created! They could have charged £500+ for that easy. But no.... get your wallets out again to rebuy every game you owned before.

Ah well, i guess i will have to wait another 4 years until they ditch the switch and announce another new console, maybe then... just maybe

Nintendo treating you all like mugs :smile:

Another console i will be avoiding and watching fail!

Where's your info come from that BotW has been canned on WiiU?

Bought this when it was £34.99, nice to see it's dropped in price.

Loads left in reading this afternoon

Cheers, still in stock near me, reserved two.

Bout time, I'll bite.

reserved mine Durham cheers x

None in stock for home delivery. :disappointed:

Reserved mine at Colchester. Thanks for the heads up as I have wanted this for a while. Loved it back on the Gamecube.

Outstanding value if you have one near, I picked this up for 35 off the bay second hand albeit in mint condition a few months back. A great way to while away the darkness when you have free time :smiley:

I would quite happily pay thirty for a copy delivered. nearest Smyth's is far too far away :disappointed:

just paid 30 the other day haha...typical :smirk:

yeah got it from smyths the other day. plenty at fort kinnaird in edinburgh if anyones interested.

Cheers got one to pick up.

Smyth's. Plenty behind the counter in Blackburn when I went.

Where did you get it for £30? Perhaps you could PM me :wink:

EDIT - I guess that was also at Smyths, having looked at previous deals
